Fuck: Driving you crazy?

If you are left with lot of time on your hands and feel adventurous and geeky at the same time, Google teaches you to swear, what words to use and their detailed explanation. But there is nothing to help you in situations when certain swear words have a different meaning, leaving you red-faced. Therefore, I took it upon myself to educate myself and others (in this case, you.) about the often-used word: FUCK.


Imagine my surprise to learn that the word ‘Fuck’ is one of the few words that has legitimate colloquial usage as a verb, adverb, adjective, command, conjunction, exclamatory, noun, pronoun, imperative and interjection. Oh my! This is definitely something my grammar teacher forgot to tell me. Don’t believe it? Look it up on Wikipedia. Where do you think I start all my research?

Want a Quick Fuck? Before your mind goes spiralling into a series of umm…thoughts, let me explain.


A Quick Fuck is a layered shooter (An alcoholic mixed drink that contains between 25 ml and 100 ml of two or more spirits.) made from one part coffee liqueur like Kahlua, one part cold Midori liqueur and one part Bailey’s Irish Cream. Reminded you of the time that hot cocktail waitress came up to you and asked whether you prefer Sex on the Beach? Well, similar ball game.

Fucking (apparently its German pronunciation [ˈfʊkɪŋ] rhymes with “booking”, ya right, who are they kidding?) is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, in western Upper Austria.


This place is quite famous for its road signs. Little wonder why. One version of the sign features the village name with an additional sign beneath it, with the words “Bitte – nicht so schnell!” (“Please — not so fast!”). There is another lower sign that features an illustration of two children and is meant to advise drivers to watch their speed. These Austrians have taken this too far!

Did you know there is a computer thing (geek alert!) called The Brain Fuck Scheduler (BFS). No.

Well, it is certainly not a filter that helps you count the number of times someone stalks you online. In fact, it is a task scheduler designed for the Linux kernel as an alternative to the Completely Fair Scheduler and the O(1) scheduler. Ahan what? Exactly! This certainly fucked my brain (true to its name I see) so I thought it would be fun to let it mess with your head as well.

So, now walk into a bar in Fucking with your head held high. Order a Quick Fuck with a mischievous and inviting smile on your face and blow someone’s mind with your Brain Fuck Scheduler knowledge.
